Herbert George Wells was perhaps best known as the author of such
classic works of science fiction as The Time Machine and War of the
Worlds. But it was in his short stories, written when he was a
young man embarking on a literary career, that he first explored
the enormous potential of the scientific discoveries of the day. He
described his stories as "a miscellany of inventions," yet his
enthusiasm for science was tempered by an awareness of its
horrifying destructive powers and the threat it could pose to the
human race. A consummate storyteller, he made fantastic creatures
and machines entirely believable; and, by placing ordinary men and
women in extraordinary situations, he explored, with humor, what it
means to be alive in a century of rapid scientific progress.
